cani | The house next door has been empty for years can i claim it. the preson owned it and theres no next of kin? |

Assuming the person who lived in it is deceased and there is no next of kin, you can petition the county probate court for ownership. You would have to establish your relationship with the deceased and present a reason why you are entitled to it (such as if you ever cared for him/her during an illness). The probate court would likely stipulate that back taxes be paid if they were to assign it to you. You can also make a claim on the estate if there were any other assets and no one has come forth to claim them. Probate would probably take 6-12 months to finalize.
I would seek the council of a local probate attorney for specific probate information pertaining to your state and county. If the attorney feels there is a good chance that you would be assigned ownership of this property by the probate court, and the property has value of any significance, you should take the financial risk associated with retaining the attorney, probate costs and back taxes and pursue it. |

not unless u can prove that u have lived there for a long time... i watched a program on TV once where squatters had been giving legal ownership of an abandoned house as they'd been living in it for about 10 years..... but i think that cases like that tend to be few and far between. more often that not an empty house will come to the attention of the local council, and they'll probably take on the legal control of it, and decide who the house should go to. |

you can search the tax records and see who the legal owner is..it may be owned by someone out of state that was kin or something. Just because noone "lives" there...doenst mean you can walk in and call it yours. Possibly a bank owns it..Best bet- search the tax records. (_your county name__ county tax records- google- it should bring you to online records, or go to the courthouse.) |

Go to the county court house and see if the taxes are current. If they are not you may bring them current. After so long if no one pays the taxes it will become yours.
Check the tax sales/liens in your county.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Assuming that you are in England (as I think some of the previous answers might be American...)
NO !! Certainly not yet !!
What you are talking about, in English law, is called "adverse possession".
Talk to a land law solicitor (I am not fully qualified yet!) if you are serious about doing something about it...
First though you need to check if the property is registered at HM Land Registry or not. Then take steps to possess all of it it and use it all (not just the garden or some of the property) as your own and exclude other people (i.e secure it with locks and/or a gate etc), even from anyone who comes along and claims to inherit it from your deceased neighbour's estate. This has to continue for a period of at least 10 years (12 if the property is not registered with HM Land Registry). When you get to that point, I cannot guarantee that the law on adverse possession will not have changed, maybe in your favour or maybe not, but when you get this far a solicitor can help you further !!
Best of luck !! |

If the owner died leaving no relatives AT ALL, then the property reverts to the crown (i.e. the Queen).
Since it seems unlikely that she would move in, you might well get away with 'squatting' in it for the required 7 years & then put in a claim .. |

no. you would have to live in it before you can claim it |

There is this law in France that if the house is paid for and there is no one living in it, you can go up there and 'squat' the place... maybe they have the same thing up where you live. |
